Fantastic use of the images and superb. descriptive writing. I felt as if I was walking through the creepy streets myself, on edge at the subtle feeling of being watched...

I enjoyed the story writing and the art is adding a lot to the gloomy mood.

Beautiful atmosphere and lore! Loved the dithered images of the strange ghost-town and the detailed descriptions of each part of the city. I think the experience would benefit a lot by including some abstract sound effects (wind, the bell, desolated city white noise e.t.c) but that's just my personal opinion. Overall I felt as if I was playing a character in a Whitewolf setting, great work!

Thank you! Would have added sound if I had the time, so perhaps after the jam is over? I didn't have World of Darkness or anything in mind when writing, but the aesthetic does fit!
